Lestidium is a genus of barracudina. They are sometimes referred to as pike smelt.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1] [2]
Barracudinas are any member of the marine mesopelagic fish family Paralepididae: 50 or so extant species are found almost worldwide in deep waters. Several genera are known only from fossils dating back to the Ypresian epoch.
Crenicichla is a genus of cichlids native to South America commonly known as the pike cichlids. They are found in most tropical and subtropical freshwater habitats between the Andes and the Atlantic.
Gymnothorax is a genus of fish in the family Muraenidae found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. With more than 120 species, it the most speciose genus of moray eels.
Synodus is a genus of fish in the family Synodontidae found in Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
Rhynchobatus is a group of rays commonly known as wedgefishes in the family Rhinidae. They are found in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific with a single species in the eastern Atlantic. All species in this genus are assessed as Vulnerable or Endangered by IUCN.
Lestidiops is a genus of barracudinas.
Chaunax is a genus of bony fish in the sea toad family Chaunacidae. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world and most species are found at depths between 180 and 1,100 m, but C. endeavouri occurs as shallow as 50 m (160 ft) and C. fimbriatus as deep as 1,985 m (6,512 ft). Depending on the exact species involved, they reach a total length of 11–40 cm (4.3–15.7 in).
Malthopsis is a genus of batfishes with a wide distribution in the world's oceans. In 2021, five new species were described from Australia and M. provocator was resurrected from synonymy with M. lutea.
Neenchelys is a genus of snake eels native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. All species of Neenchelys have two rather than three preopercular pores, a significant character among many species of ophichthids.
Lestrolepis is a genus of barracudina.
Sudis is a genus of barracudinas, with two currently recognized species:
Parapercis is a genus of sandperches belonging to the fish family Pinguipedidae.
Nemipterus is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nemipteridae, the threadfin and whiptail breams. These fishes are found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but now also occur in the Mediterranean Sea due to Lessepsian migration.
Wanda Wesołowska is a Polish zoologist known for her work with jumping spiders. She has described more species of jumping spider than any contemporary writer, and is second only to Eugène Simon in the history of arachnology. Originally a student of ornithology, she developed an interest in jumping spiders while still a student at the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in the 1970s.
Lestidium atlanticum, the Atlantic barracudina, is a species of fish. It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical waters of the three major oceans. This species reaches a length of 25 cm (9.8 in).
Lestidium nudum, the deep water pike smelt or naked barracudina, is a species of fish. It is found in the Pacific Ocean. This species reaches a length of 24.7 cm (9.7 in).
Lestidium australis is a species of fish. It is found in Eastern Australia.
Lestidium longilucifer is a species of fish. It is found in Western Australia and Taiwan.
